Product Designer, Web (Remote)

Design is an integral part of Fleetio’s culture and how we build products together. One of our core beliefs as a company is “Design is an important part of everything we do.”

We’re adding another talented Product Designer to our growing Product Design team to help us continue to build remarkable software. As a Product Designer at Fleetio, you will create intuitive, innovative, and, most importantly, useful software interfaces that our customers will love to use. You will rely on user-centered design principles to produce high-quality visuals from concept to execution and craft new solutions for complex problems. You will collaborate with other product designers, engineers, and product managers to continually refine and iterate the Fleetio design language system.

If you are a creative, driven, and passionate designer who intentionally puts yourself in the shoes of customers and thinks deeply about how to improve their experience, we would love to hear from you!

If you have an outstanding portfolio showcasing a foundation in typography, interaction design, pleasing aesthetics, ideation, and examples of designs that you have developed from concept to completion, please share it with us in your application. Be sure to mention coffee in your application, so we know you actually read this.
